Student fired



for comments

* SG FINANCE DISMISSES EMPLOYEE AFTER
SHE SPOKE ABOUT STUDENT-MONEY SPENDING.

By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

A student assistant in the Student Government Finance
Office was fired last week for commenting to the Alligator
about student money spent at a pig roast.
On Nov. 9, Susan Henriques said Student Body Treasurer
Lindsay Cosimi "should have caught" the Spanish American
Law Students Association before it spent $137.50 of tuition-
funded SG money on a pig for an off-campus tailgate party.
Henriques had signed a contract stating that she would
not speak on behalf of the SG Finance Office.
SG Finance Office Business Manager Stan Beckerdite said
he fired Henriques, who had been an employee for longer
than three years, because "even a reasonable person" would
believe that she spoke on behalf of the entire finance office
with that statement.
"I won't tolerate that," he said. "I
GStudent think it's wrong. She crossed a bound-
GOVermmntt ary. I'm the boss; my opinion is what
counts."
Beckerdite said he made the decision Nov. 10, the morn-
ing the article ran in the Alligator, but he slept on the decision
for three days.
"Yes, I'm still upset about it," he said.
Henriques said she will have to get another job to com-
pensate for her previous $7 per hour wage to pay her rent.
SG adviser Chris Cupoli said administrators want UF
to be a learning environment for students and that "conse-
quences are educational rather than punitive."
Henriques said she was surprised when she found out
there was a problem with her quote.
"I didn't see why he was so upset," she said of Beckerdite.
Pride Student Union Vice President Adelle Fontanet
said ,she has seen Henriques at work on the Budget &
Appropriations Committee three times. She said the com-
mittee, which Henriques sat on for three years as a represen-
tative of the finance office, could suffer without her.
"I think it was really crappy that she was fired," Fontanet
said. "They lost someone with a lot of experience who is not
directly affiliated with Student Government. She had a great
long-term perspective, something that the current committee
lacks. They're all new."
Henriques said she should be given a second chance.
"I'm really upset about it, but there's not really anything
I can do," she said.
Cosimi said she cannot remember any other time
when Henriques violated the contract; however, she said
Henriques is not deserving of a second chance.
Cosimi helped create the new regulations Henriques
signed at the beginning of the semester, Cosimi said, and she
broke them when she gave her opinion to the Alligator.
Cosimi said she can speak her mind because she is an

Local policy may stiffen after Brucia


By KIMBERLY GOUZ

The Gainesville City Commission and
local law enforcement agencies may crack
down on sex offenders in the aftermath
of Thursday's conviction in the Carlie
Brucia case, in which Joseph Smith was
found guilty of kidnapping, raping and
strangling the 11-year-old girl.
On Monday, the commission will vote
on an ordinance that would prevent child
sex offenders whose victims were under
16 from living within 2,500 feet of schools,
day-care centers, playgrounds and active
recreational parks.
On that same day, a jury in Sarasota
will decide if Joseph Smith will be sen-

UF behind in faculty resources


By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF must find oil or win the lot-
tery in order to hire new faculty,
according to Kim Tanzer, chair of
UF's Faculty Senate.
The UF Foundation, the orga-
nization that controls fundraising
for UF, has raised $52 million
of a $150 million goal set by UF
President Bernie Machen to help
recruit and retain faculty.
The fundraising is part of the
Faculty Challenge campaign
aimed at raising money to en-
hance classroom instruction and
research, said Chris Brazda, vice
president for public relations for
the Foundation.
The $52 million is an endow-
ment, meaning that the money
is invested and only the interest
earned is spent.
Tanzer said the money, which
was raised in less than two years,
is hardly a drop in the bucket.
In a presentation to the Faculty
Senate on Thursday, Tanzer said


that. although the student body
has grown 33 percent in the past
15 years, the number of regular
faculty members, who do most
of the teaching, has only increased
by 2 percent.
"Even the $150 million
won't scratch the surface
of our deficit."
Kim Tanzer
UF Faculty Senate chair

Tanzer said that UF is so far be-
hind comparable state schools in
terms of faculty resources that an
increase in tuition is the only way
to generate the necessary funds.
"Even the $150 million won't
scratch the surface of our deficit,"
she said.
Tanzer added that although
the endowed money sounds like
a substantial amount, private
individuals donate it with very
specific purposes in mind.
Donors decide where the


funds go and to what college, so
they are generally not distributed
evenly, she said.
Tanzer added that students are
the ones who suffer when faculty
resources are neglected.
"Students have said that the
size of classes now are large and
not sufficiently demanding, espe-
cially in lower division courses,"
she said. "I think that the risk for
students is that they don't have
people to write letters of recom-
mendation for them for graduate
school, or even someone to share
informal advice with them about
fellowships, or just general career
opportunities."
Sam Hadley, a second-year
accounting major, said that an
increase in faculty would be espe-
cially beneficial for students in the
Warrington College of Business
because many courses are online.
"If we had more professors
and smaller class sizes, we might
actually learn more of the material
instead of just memorizing infor-
mation for exams," Hadley said.

FBK picks new officers


* PRESIDENT LINKED TO SG
ELECTION CORRUPTION.

By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer

UF law student and Delta Upsilon
Fraternity alumnus Pedro "Peter"
Allende has been elected as the next
president of Florida Blue Key, a
leadership honorary that runs Gator
Growl and Homecoming.
Allende will take the helm of the
organization in Spring 2006, and has
so far appointed Eric White as next
year's Gator Growl producer and
John Hooker as general chairman of
Homecoming 2006.
"They were really the most quali-
fied people to apply for the posi-
tions," Allende said.
White, who is a member of Kappa
Sigma Fraternity and a former asso-
ciate producer of Gator Growl, will
also have the distinction of being the
event's first black producer.
"The thing I look forward to the
most is to get the entire commu-
nity of Gainesville involved in Gator
Growl," White said.
Hooker is a former Student Senate
president and member of the Reitz
Union Board of Managers, as well
as an alumnus of Alpha Gamma Rho
Fraternity.
Other new FBK officials are Vice
President Kurt Zaner, Secretary
Heather Cumming and Historian
Nina Vaghaiwalla.
Unlike last Spring's FBK election,


in which three non-Greeks were
elected to executive positions, all of
Fall's newly elected officials have ties
to a Greek chapter.
Additionally, an Alligator inves-
tigation earlier this year revealed
Allende's ties to a conspiracy de-
signed to confuse student voters in an
effort to benefit the Gator Party dur-
ing the Spring Student Government
election.
A highly active FBK member told
the Alligator in March that a "name
war" between political parties was
deliberately perpetrated to mislead
voters, and that Allende was prom-
ised a better chance of winning the
FBK presidency in
Student return for making
Government deals to help the
Gator Party win
the election.
Allende denied the allegations in
March, adding that he had no aspi-
rations of pursuing the FBK presi-
dency.
When asked Monday what
changed his mind about running,
Allende said he "would like to serve
the (FBK) chapter in this university
some more."
Z Current FBK Vice President Chris
Carmody said that although some
dirty political tactics have tainted the
organization's reputation in the past,
Allende is a responsible leader who
is already making strides to improve
FBK.
"This has been a very positive
semester for this organization," he
said.

Though she holds an undergraduate degree in microbiol-

ment opportunities weren't there.
Doering said that pharmacists reach.an "instant plateau"
with their high-paying entry-level jobs.
"We're on a crest," he said, though he predicted that tech-
nology would decrease demand in about eight years.

Online comic readers turn pennies into toys for Shands


By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer

Readers of a popular online comic strip
have saved their pennies for a charitable cause
in Gainesville.
Visitors of Penny Arcade's Web site have
donated more than $4,000 in toys in less than
two weeks to Shands Children's Hospital at
UF.
Penny Arcade is a humorous video game-
based comic strip created by Mike Krahulik
and Jerry Holkins. In 2003, the two used the
Web site's popularity to found Child's Play, a
charity organization based in Seattle.
This is the first year that Shands has taken
part in the toy drive, and it has received toys
ranging from Xbox consoles to children's
books.


"Medical care could be very expensive, and
cash donations get spent on necessities, things
used to take care of sick kids," said Greg
Turner, corporate Web developer for Shands
Healthcare.
Turner, who is a reader of Penny Arcade,
contacted Child's Play to include Shands in
the toy drive. The charity then posted a wish
list from the hospital on its Web site.
The wish list is hosted by Amazon.com, so
donators can select a gift, pay for it and send it
to the hospital with only a few clicks.
Turner said that he saw Child's Play as an
opportunity to get toys for the hospital that
children could use together.
"They can't, go outside and play soccer
like before, but they can get together and play
video games on a TV," Turner said.
Child's Play was motivated by a column


that appeared in 2003 in The Daily Herald, a
newspaper from Everett, Wash., according to
Child's Play's Web site.
"They can't go outside and play
soccer like before, but they can
get together and play video games
on a TV."
Greg Turner
Shands HealthCare Web developer

In the column, the author stated that video
games were a training ground for children to
develop attitudes like that of Gary Ridgway, a
man from Seattle who confessed to killing 48
women in 2003.
Bothered by the portrayal of gainers in
that column and in other articles, Krahulik


and Holkins, both 28, decided to use Penny
Arcade's worldwide readership of about four
million people to create "something worth it,"
said Mike Fehlauer, Child's Play spokesman.
The result was Child's Play.
Fehlauer is a business development direc-
tor for Penny Arcade and volunteers his time
with the charity.
Child's Play started small, sponsoring
only th6 Seattle Children's Hospital, but the
response from the gaming community was so
great that it now sponsors 15 hospitals.
Child's Play does not receive a profit from
the toy drive. Money donated-through PayPal
or collected through- Amazon.com will be
equally divided and donated to the sponsored
hospitals, Fehlauer said. Child's Play's goal is
to have a video game console in every room of
the children's hospitals that they sponsor.

Firearms featured on Plaza for National Guard event


By TIM HUSSIN
Alligator Writer

Students who happened to
stroll through the Plaza of the
Americas on Monday might
have had an M-16 assault rifle
with a grenade launcher pointed
at their heads, but they shouldn't
have been alarmed.
The National Guard had it
under control.
Students could touch, hold
and aim three different unloaded
On and inoperable
Campus rifles any way they
pleased during the
recruitment event, on the condi-
tion that they keep their fingers
away from the trigger.
UF spokesman Steve Orlando
said the National Guard would
follow a procedure to allow stu-
dents to handle the firearms.
"I'm sure that the National
Guard got complete clearance
from the university to do that,"
he said.
Although students are not
allowed to carry firearms on
campus, he said it would be fine
for the National Guard to have
a display of decommissioned


firearms if it went through an
approval process.
Matt Fine, member of the UF
Pistol and Rifle Club, said-the
National Guard has many ways
of making guns inoperable,
including rubber dummy guns
that look and feel like real guns.
"Weapon safety extends to
any type of weapon-period,"
he said. "The basic safety rules
are there so you don't hurt
anyone. They prevent users'
incompetence and carelessness.
If you practice those rules, it's
a lot harder for those people to
get hurt."
At points, students waited in
a line to look through the scope
of the sniper rifle or aim an M-4
carbine assault rifle into the sky.
The gun display attracted the
most students, but the event also
included a rock-climbing wall, a
Hummer with a rotating rocket
launcher and a carnival-style
basketball game.
However, not everyone ap-
proved of the event.
Protesters lined up near the
event with anti-war signs, chant-
ing, "This is what democracy
looks like. Say what?"

Official stands by her statements

elected official.
The contract reads: "ALL external commu-
nications WILL be of a factual or educational
nature. Staff will NOT express personal opin-
ion in a form that leads people- to believe it
is SG Finance position. Nothing in this Office
is intended to restrict freedom of speech. IT
MUST BE CLEAR when expressing a per-
sonal opinion that it is YOUR opinion."
Henriques said she is standing firm.
"I said that because I believed it to be true
and still do," she said.
Henriques said she signed the contract
during Fall slating, when SG parties picked
who they would run for election. She was
the Impact Party's treasurer, running against
Cosimi, then Gator Party treasurer candidate.
The contract also prohibits campaigning


while working and the use of office equip-
ment for "partisan political work."
Student Body President Joe Goldberg said
Henriques wore two hats.
"It's not easy when you are working in an
office and you are also running for office,"
he said. "I know that that's something that
is difficult to overcome. We don't have time
to play around with politics. I don't think
anyone wants to get caught up in anything
besides getting the work done that needs to
be done for the students."
He said he found fault with Henriques
when she served as a student seriator during
Summer and worked in the finance office.
"I found that to be a direct conflict of inter-
est," Goldberg said.
Henriques said she wrote an apology to all
those involved, "for my misunderstanding of
what I was allowed to do-and what I wasn't
allowed to do."


Public stepping up in crime fight


BRUCIA, from page 1

lords complete 'the checks because
Gainesville Police statistics show that
sex offenders move frequently.
Keith Faulk, spokesman for the
Alachua County Sheriff's Office, said his
office partners with GPD to do routine
checks on Alachua County's 330 regis-
tered sexual predators and offenders.
The most recent was on Halloween.
"We had about six deputies from our
department out banging on doors," he
said. "Some of the predators are not al-
lowed to have any contact with children
and would be in violation of their proba-


tion if they were dishing out candy to
children on Halloween."
Faulk said his department takes en-
forcement of the laws seriously
"We've gotten complaints from sev-
eral different offenders that three differ-
ent deputies came by in the same week
to check on them," he said.
GPD spokesman Keith Kameg said
there has been an increase in sex crimes
in the past few years.
"If anything good has come out of
the Brucia case, it is that people are more
aware of what's going on," Kameg said.
"Now the public is starting to take a
stand against crime."

Editorial


Flip-flop politics

Goldberg's accession as

FSA chairman ironic
It's like the entire student body is made up of goldfish.
We swim in our respective fish bowls, we study the
world through our own distorted glass barrier, and we
never remember anything that happened 30 seconds ago.
Last Fall, Joe Goldberg was against joining the Florida
Student Association. This Fall, he's chairman of the orga-
nization.
And no one is questioning this drastic turnaround. Have
we all forgotten?
We'll admit Goldberg eventually supported joining the
student lobbying group, and the Student Senate voted to
join FSA while Goldberg was Senate President.
But before he came out in support, Goldberg was part of
a group that stalled the Senate from voting on the matter.
The bill was held back for four months under the guise of
research, the results of which never really surfaced. Then
suddenly, on one very special day, the dissenters became
the supporters, without much explanation.
The FSA bill was originally supported by the Access
Party, the party of the executive branch. Goldberg was a
member of the opposing Innovate Party, which ran the
Senate. When the parties came together and voted to join
FSA, another Access-supported bill mysteriously disap-
peared one supporting Internet voting.
UF eventually joined FSA at a discounted rate, but offi-
cials had missed their chance to have a voice on setting the
annual agenda.
So Goldberg is now chairman of an organization that he
impeded, possibly for political reasons.
But maybe Goldberg was on the right track when he
opposed joining FSA. At one point last Fall, he even took
a take-it or leave-it mentality, admitting that everything
gained by joining FSA could be done without actually join-
ing it.
That's an interesting outlook for -the chairman of the
organization.
Not many deny that FSA's main purpose is networking.
We pay almost $30,000 a year for our SG officials to improve
relations with other schools' SG officials. And then some of
the money goes to lobbying against basic issues like block
tuition and higher Bright Futures standards.
But when then-Student Body President Nikki Fried
dropped funding for FSA a few years baak, she replaced
what was lost by hiring a private lobbying firm.
Under Goldberg, we've held on to both options and now
dole out a total of about $90,000 for lobbying efforts within
the state. Do we really need FSA? Or should we get rid of
the private firm?
We're glad that a UF representative has an influential po-
sition in such a big organization. And we want a UF student
-on the Board of Governors, the highest governing body of
public universities (a perk to Goldberg's new position).
But we begin to doubt the aptitude of an organization
that appoints as chairman the very person who almost pre-
vented UF from joining.
UF is the flagship institution of Florida, and its member-
ship is integral to carrying out many of FSA's goals. Our
university's influence dwarfs most of the other member
schools.
And yet, despite almost hindering FSA, Goldberg is now
accountable for its well-being. Ain't it great to be a Gator?

Guest COlium

Bush must reconsider policies on Iraq


With approval ratings of the war and President
Bush's decisions in pursuing it languishing, it's
time to have a serious discussion about why we
still have troops in Iraq.
During the last six months, our troops have become tar-
get practice for angry insurgents, causing our role to be little
more than a counterproductive bloodbath.
Last week, Republicans resorted to name-calling, prob-
ably because the weapons-of-mass-destruction ploy -used
three years ago is wearing thin, and they don't have another
defense. Bush claims that withdrawing now would "send
mixed signals to the troops and the enemy."
But what would be mixed about Bush taking account-
ability for a deplorable decision? Then again, "accountabil-
ity" has never been in this administration's vocabulary.
When pleading for an end to this ruthless cycle of
pointless deaths now numbering more than 2,000, it is
impossible not to mention Rep. John Murtha, D-Penn. This
17-term congressman and retired Marine recently spoke
passionately against the war, asserting that the gravestones
in Arlington National Cemetery "don't say Democrat or
Republican; they say American." This is no longer a war
that can be won militarily. Instead, we now need to assist
the Iraqi government politically. Murtha's new plan sug-
gests a procedure for withdrawing troops and offers incen-
tive to the Iraqi people to help them settle what remains
politically.
Republicans deliberately misinterpreted Murtha's
logical argument. They drew up a resolution for immediate
withdrawal, claiming it was in the spirit of Murtha's pro-
posal. It was rejected 403-3. But this blatant political stunt
missed the point entirely. Murtha didn't call for immediate
withdrawal; he asked for serious re-examination and con-
sideration of his four-step plan.


Amy Eisinger While in China, Bush responded
Speaking Out gently to Murtha's emotional plea,
acknowledging him as a strong mili-
tary supporter but adding that with-
drawal would lead to a "safe haven for terror." Yet recent
polls show that Americans don't feel significantly safer now
than they did immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
The real problem is that Bush is looking to defeat a
specific group, when in reality we're fighting a faceless
enemy. The administration cannot simply ignore someone
as well respected as Murtha when he has chosen to speak
out so vehemently. Moreover, ignoring the overwhelming
majority of Americans who now oppose the war would
be a direct slap in the face to all this nation stands for.
What good is democracy when the voice of the majority
is suffocated under the selfish propaganda and privately
motivated actions of one man?
And then there's the world stage. When Bush attended
the Summit of the Americas in Argentina, Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez led a protest against American
policies, and the 34 participating nations gave Bush a
lukewarm reception. We can no longer pretend the inter-
national community is blind to our actions. How many
more allies will the United States lose before Bush is con-
vinced our policy is wrong? How many more Americans
must give their lives for an aimless personal agenda?
This war has been seriously crippled by countless
deaths, appalling examples of bigoted American torture
and an inability to actually find weapons of mass destruc-
tion. The only hope this administration has of salvaging
what little integrity it has left is by actually listening to th(
American people and seriously reconsidering its policies.
Amy Eisinger is an English and classics junior. Her column,
appears on Tuesday.

Guest column

Israel adviser affirms terrible reality


Would like to thank Accent
and VISA for inviting Ra'anan
Gissin, Ariel Sharon's senior
adviser, to UF on Thursday.
Never mind that his speech
was a propagandist spiel about
democratic practice in the West's
favorite apartheid state. Never
mind that he repeatedly .referred
to the Gaza withdrawal of 10,000
settlers while ignoring the illegal
presence of 400,000 Israeli settlers
in the West Bank. Never mind the
ridiculous claim that Palestinian
terror is the direct reason for
economic misery in the occupied
territories.
It's terrific when a senior Israeli
representative openly states, "We're
not going to talk we're going to kick
some ass." It's an honest, damning
confession from a regime that bluffs
about a roadmap for peace while going
against the very grain of international
consensus as laid forth in U.N. resolu-
tions and the Geneva Conventions.
The dictates of the International Court


Tariq Khan of Justice are
Speaking Out not worth an
ounce, it seems,
when weighed against Sharonic law.
I initially had some reservations
about Accent's choice of speaker.
Accent has worked hard to bring
us excellent speakers in the past,
including Noam Chomsky, Ralph
Nader and Bill Clinton. But Gissin
seemed like a waste of money. I
didn't feel comfortable with his
role as a spokesperson for foreign
democracy.
Even in the Reitz Union Rion
Ballroom usually such a lovely
venue I did not feel comfort-
able. Maybe it was the police
officers standing at the doors. I
suppose it was mainly the surreal
nature of attending a speech on
democracy with such tight secu-
rity measures. The event itself was
modestly attended, with less than
200 audience members. It hardly
merited such security concerns;
the topic should have been benign.


Democracy is supposed to be such
a warm, fuzzy thing that I thought
we could all agree we liked it.
Perhaps Israeli democracy is a dif-
ferent matter.
In any case, my fears turned
out to be completely unfounded.
Gissin is a blessing in disguise. His
speech's topic, "the only democ-
racy in the Middle East," inevitably
gave rise during the Q&A session to
the far more substantive concerns
of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
I hope he is given free rein by
his administration to carry on the
good work and that the language
grows more colorful, more explicit
and more in line with the realities
on the ground.
Because "ass" is being kicked as
this letter is typed. The legal and
political facilitation of "ass-kick-
ing" is under way. And it is time
that you knew it, straight from the
horse's mouth.
Tariq Khan is a junior in political
science.


Letter to the Editor
Alligator proves it is intrinsically against Ayn Rand
Your paper's coverage of the event hosted by the Ayn
Rand Club on Thursday betrayed your own motto, "We
inform, you decide."
The Ayn Rand Club has hosted numerous speaking
events on campus and has never had an audience of less
than 100 people. How could you possibly forget to men-
tion the dub that brought Gary Hull to UF? Unfortunately,
this omission is not startling, given your paper's ever-pres-
ent biases. I'll admit that your paper's approach is smart
though. The worst thing you could have done from your
perspective is make known the fact that Rand is still hav-
ing an effect, 23 years after her death. She can still draw a
crowd with her ideas and keep students at a lecture for two
and a half hours despite all the school they already have.
You have to make it seem as though the students who at-
tended were beside themselves and left in protest.
Though many students left early, how is this any dif-
ferent from a regular college lecture? We do not need your
support to keep our activities flourishing on campus. For
your sake, hope the Ayn Rand Club does not become more
popular or else you might even have to mention her name
in an article. Actually, I'm surprised that you.missed a
chance to say something derogatory about her. That's usu-
ally an opportunity that people at a liberal rag like yours
won't pass up.

No. 14 Gators feel improved despite loss of Big Three


Tim Casey / Alligator Staff
UF forward Adrian Moss grabs a rebound in UF's 77-72 win against
the Deacons on Nov. 17. Moss and the Gators have risen to No. 14.


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

It might be early, but the UF
men's basketball team has already
begun to reap some of the rewards
of its early season success.
After receiving just six total
votes in the pre-season Associated
Press Top 25 one more than
Bucknell and seven fewer than Old
Dominion the Gators leaped
from unranked all the way to the
No. 14 spot in this week's poll.
And it may be extremely early,
but the emergence of a new group
of starters begs the question: is this
team better than last year's version
of the Gators, who finished 24-8,
won the Southeastern Conference
Tournament and sent three players
to the NBA?
"I think we're a better team
this year than we were last year,"
forward Adrian Moss said.
"Everyone has a defined role, ev-
eryone's going to stick to their role,
and you can see our teamwork and
camaraderie on the floor."
Moss said that he received
40 voice mails from friends tell-
ing him how unified the Gators
looked after defeating Wake Forest
and Syracuse for the Coaches vs.
Cancer championship.
"[They said] it doesn't look
like there's any dissention on the
floor," Moss said. "It looks like
everyone has one agenda, and that
is to win the game at hand. There's
no ulterior motives."


Moss went on to say the editori-"
al cartoon that ran in the Alligator
on Monday, which depicted a UF
player breaking free from a ball
and chain labeled "Roberson" and
"Walsh" was unfair.
A reporter then asked Moss
to clarify his statement that
the team was better this year
without Anthony Roberson and
Matt Walsh, to which Moss said,
"Exactly right."

"We all have one agenda,
and that's to win basket-
ball games."
Adrian Moss
UF forward


Moss said it was all right for
him to criticize the duo because it
was his team that he was talking
about.
Moss then said the ulterior
motives he discussed earlier were
Roberson and Walsh, "trying to
pursue a pro career" alluding to
the fact that they were thinking
of themselves rather than playing
team basketball.
Moss, however, doesn't believe
that is an issue with this year's
group.
"We all have one agenda," Moss
said. "And that's to win basketball
games."
So far the Gators have done just
that, and they drew praise from
one of college basketball's legends


after winning the championship in
New York.
"I think they've got a very good
team that's going to be a very good
team to contend with," Syracuse
coach Jim Boeheim said. "I think
they'll have a tremendous year." -

Free throw woes
Despite UF's two victories
against teams from the high-pow-
ered Atlantic Coast and Big East
conferences, the team continued
to struggle from the free throw
line.
The Gators are converting
on just 57.4 percent of their free
throws, only slightly better than
their 52.4 percent field goal
percentage and five percentage
points less than their opponents.
Donovan said that he and his
assistant coaches are trying to
be creative by forcing players to
shoot foul shots under pressure
in practice, sometimes with extra
running involved for misses.
Donovan added that while
nobody on the team is currently
shooting 70 percent from the line,
he could shoot 57 percent with his
left hand. Donovan, a right-hand-
er, shot 84.3 percent from the line
his senior year at Providence.
Moss thinks Donovan might be
a little shaky at the line.
"I want to see that," Moss said.
"Sometimes guys can forget what
they really can do when they stop
playing for awhile."


Wake up Gator Nation, UF-FSU game is still the year's hottest ticket


Am I missing something here?
Is this not the week of the Florida-
Florida State game, a.k.a. one of col-
lege football's greatest rivalries?
The game is just five days away, but there
isn't the faintest sign of Jarvis Herring guar-
anteeing a victory or Seminoles linebacker
Ernie Sims declaring he will beat up Chris
Leak.
'Tis the holiday season, but it looks like
Santa forgot to leave a vintage Gators-'Noles
matchup for Little Bobby and Little Urban
this year. That will teach those naughty ras-
cals to lose three games in a season.
Seriously though, I challenge -the fans.
-Where are you guys this year? Instead of
worrying about how the Gators will handle
FSU's talented running backs duo, you're


debating whether to leave Gainesville today
or tomorrow.
Shame on the countless students who
have posted things like "Desperate to Sell 1
FSU Ticket!" on the message boards.
Since when did the hottest ticket in town
become less valuable than Priest Holmes on
my fantasy football team?
Whether I like it or not, "The Showdown
in the Sunshine State" has definitely lost its
luster in the past few years.
In the 1990's, the Gators and the
Seminoles would storm through their re-
spective SEC and ACC schedules and the
annual rivalry game would play a big part
in who could go to the national champion-
ship game.
From 1993 until 1999, the game decided if


one team would go to
the title game in five of
those seven years.
Fast forward to the
new millennium and
Farzad Safi things have changed
Far's Side at both schools. The
fsafi@alligator.org Ron Zook experiment
led to lowered stan-
dards for a school once
unhappy with a 10-2 record. Meanwhile in
Tallahassee, Bobby Bowden has seen his
dominance over the ACC diminish. During
the '90's, Bowden lost just two conference
games. The Seminoles have lost three ACC
games this season alone all to unranked
opponents.
So this weekend when No. 23 FSU travels


to face No. 19 UF, who really cares?
The players.
The guys in orange and blue and garnet
and gold have an instinctive hatred for each,,
other.
These guys grew up together and have
battled from their Pop Warner days to high
school-and now for bragging rights.
"It's Florida State," defensive end Joe
Cohen said. "You got fights before the game,
during the game and after the game."
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the
Gators defend their logo at the 50-yard line
if the Seminoles' players try to stomp on it
before the game, as they like to do.
Although I don't think fighting belongs
in football, someone has to prove that this
game still matters.

UF FOOTBALL

Home finale to be bittersweet for UF seniors


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

Don't blame Steve Spurrier's hasty de-
parture, Ron Zook's failed tenure or Urban
Meyer's not-so-smooth transition to the
Southeastern Conference.
In fact, don't blame anyone from
Gainesille, or the United States for that mat-
ter.
If you want someone to blame for UF's lack
of success the past four years, there's a scape-
goat thousands of miles away.
He's none other than the world's most
wanted man, Osama bin Laden.
Five seasons ago, when the Gators were
preparing to face Tennessee in the usual early-
season matchup, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks headed by bin Laden forced the game
to be postponed until December.
When the game finally rolled around, the
Gators needed to defeat the Volunteers at the
Swamp for an appearance in the SEC champi-
onship game as well as a No. 2 national rank-
ing that likely would have landed them in the
BCS title game.
The Gators lost. Now, UF's fifth-year
seniors who will play their final regular


season game against Florida State on Saturday
- have never been that close to a title game
since.
"I blame Osama bin Laden for all of this,"
joked senior linebacker Todd McCullough.
So as McCullough, Jarvis Herring,
Mike Degory, Jeremy Mincey and Tavares
Washington prepare to play at the Swamp
for the final time on Saturday, it will be a
bittersweet moment -- and it's not just bitter
because it will be their home finale.
"It's extremely disappointing,"
McCullough said. "It's something we'll al-
ways live with. It's something that's not going
to just go away. It's truly disappointing for
those guys coming in here for the level Florida
was at and to not get an SEC championship."
McCullough believes the Gators will even-
tually bounce back and become an elite team
again, but "it's just unfortunate for the seniors
not to be a part of that."
For Degory it's been equally as difficult.
"You come. to this place to win to win
SEC championships, and I've never reached
my goal," he said. "I've lost some hair and I've
lost some sleep over it but there's not much I
can do."
McCullough said playing for three coaches
was difficult and a partial reason for UF's


struggles.
"Definitely going through three different
coaches and three different systems and three
different philosophies, it's hard to compete
in the SEC at this level trying to adapt to all
those systems that quickly," McCullough said.
"I think it definitely didn't play to our favor
but it's on us guys to get it done. In my mind,
we did let a lot of people
down."
While the Gators have
Sno shot at an SEC title or
BCS bowl appearance this
season, a win against the
Seminoles would be an
ideal send-off for the se-
Degory niors that will never receive
a championship ring at UF.
"It would be awesome to look back and
say I won SEC championships and I won all
these rings, but you're not going to have that
,stuff," Degory said. "You have to remember
the times with your friends, joking around in
the locker room the good times and the bad
times. Hopefully you remember just the good
times."
SHREVEPORT OR BUST: While it initially looked
like the Gators were heading for a Music City


Bowl bid in Nashville, now it appears UF will
play a Big 12 team in the Independence Bowl
in Shreveport, La. While nothing is certain, and
the Gators could possibly end up in a slightly
more prestigious game like the Cutback Bowl
in Tampa, in all likelihood five SEC teams will
earn higher bowl bids than the Gators.
For the second consecutive season, only
six SEC teams qualified for a bowl game. Last
year, the Independence Bowl didn't get to se-
lect an SEC team because of the low amount of
qualifiers. This year, the Music City Bowl will
be shut out.
MCDONALD OUT? UF coach Urban Meyer said
defensive end Ray McDonald might not be
available against Florida State. Meyer said
there is still swelling in McDonald's knee
that was injured against Tennessee. There is a
chance it will have to be surgically repaired.
McDonald has played sparingly the last
few weeks and on Monday Meyer said he will
look into whether it was the right decision to
even bring him back this year if he hadn't
come back he could have used a medical
redshirt.
"I've asked that and actually we had a dis-
cussion about that today," Meyer said. "There
will be decisions made on him real soon."

You Decide. 3 TU ,lIM.ChAMID ,31) IJnLVLJI Student firedm rr fOr comments M SG FINANCE DISMISSES EMPLOYEE AFTER SHE SPOKE ABOUT STUDENT-MONEY SPENDING. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@allgator.org A student assistant in the Student Government Finance Office was fired last week for commenting to the Alligator about student money spent at a pig roast. On Nov. 9, Susan Henriques said Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi "should have caught" the Spanish American Law Students Association before it spent $137.50 of tuitionfunded SG money on a pig for an off-campus tailgate party. Henriques had signed a contract stating that she would not speak on behalf of the SG Finance Office. SG Finance Office Business Manager Stan Beckerdite said he fired Henriques, who had been an employee for longer than three years, because "even a reasonable person" would believe that she spoke on behalf of the entire finance office with that statement. "I won't tolerate that," he said. "I Student think it's wrong. She crossed a boundGVI'd'teltt ary. I'm the boss; my opinion is what counts." Beckerdite said he made the decision Nov. 10, the morning the article ran in the Alligator, but he slept on the decision for three days. "Yes, I'm still upset about it," he said. Henriques said she will have to get another job to compensate for her previous $7 per hour wage to pay her rent. SG adviser Chris Cupoli said administrators want UF to be a learning environment for students and that "consequences are educational rather than punitive." Henriques said she was surprised when she found out there was a problem with her quote. "I didn't see why he was so upset," she said of Beckerdite. Pride Student Union Vice President Adelle Fontanet said she has seen Henriques at work on the Budget & Appropriations Committee three times. She said the coinmittee, which Henriques sat on for three years as a representative of the finance office, could suffer without her. "I think it was really crappy that she was fired," Fontanet said. "They lost someone with a lot of experience who is not directly affiliated with Student Government. She had a great long-term perspective, something that the current committee lacks. They're all new." Henriques said she should be given a second chance. "I'm really upset about it, but there's not really anything I can do," she said. Cosimi said she cannot remember any other time when Henriques violated the contract; however, she said Henriques is not deserving of a second chance. Cosimi helped create the new regulations Henriques signed at the beginning of the semester, Cosimi said, and she broke them when she gave her opinion to the Alligator. Cosimi said she can speak her mind because she is an SEE HENPR!,ES, PAGE 5 Good times with weapons Carlos Baez braces an M-4 Carbine Assault Rifle against his shoulder Monday afternoon on the Plaza of the Americas.

On Monday, the commission will vote on an ordinance that would prevent child sex offenders whose victims were under 16 from living within 2,500 feet of schools, day-care centers, playgrounds and active recreational parks.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 ADMINISTRATION UF behinftd in faculty resources By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer UF must find oil or win the lottery in order to hire new faculty, according to Kim Tanzer, chair of UF's Faculty Senate. The UF Foundation, the organization that controls fundraising for U, has raised $52 million of a $150 million goal set by UF President Bernie Machen to help recruit and retain faculty. The fundraising is part of the Faculty Challenge campaign aimed at raising money to enhance classroom instruction and research, said Chris Brazda, vice president for public relations for the Foundation. The $52 million is an endowment, meaning that the money is invested and only the interest earned is spent. Tanzer said the money, which was raised in less than two years, is hardly a drop in the bucket. In a presentation to the Faculty Senate on Thursday, Tanzer said that although the student body has grown 33 percent in the past 15 years, the number of regular faculty members, who do most of the teaching, has only increased by 2 percent. "Even the $150 million won't scratch the surface of our deficit." Kim Tanzer UF Faculty Senate chair Tanzer said that UF is so far behind comparable state schools in terms of faculty resources that an increase in tuition is the only way to generate the necessary funds. "Even the $150 million won't scratch the surface of our deficit," she said. Tanzer added that although the endowed money sounds like a .substantial amount, private individuals donate it with very specific purposes in mind. Donors decide where the funds go and to what college, so they are generally not distributed evenly, she said. Tanzer added that students are the ones who suffer when faculty resources are neglected. "Students have said that the size of classes now are large and not sufficiently demanding, especially in lower division courses," she said. "I think that the risk for students is that they don't have people to write letters of recommendation for them for graduate school, or even someone to share informal advice with them about fellowships, or just general career opportunities." Sam Hadley, a second-year accounting major, said that an increase in faculty would be especially beneficial for students in the Warrington College of Business because many courses are online. "If we had more professors and smaller class sizes, we might actually learn more of the material instead of just memorizing information for exams," Hadley said.

4, ALLIGATOR M TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 FBK picks new officers PRESIDENT LINKED TO SG ELECTION CORRUPTION. By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer UF law student and Delta Upsilon Fraternity alumnus Pedro "Peter" Allende has been elected as the next president of Florida Blue Key, a leadership honorary that runs Gator Growl and Homecoming. Allende will take the helm of the organization in Spring 2006, and has so far appointed Eric White as next year's Gator Growl producer and John Hooker as general chairman of Homecoming 2006. "They were really the most qualified people to apply for the positions," Allende said. White, who is a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity and a former associate producer of Gator Growl, will also have the distinction of being the event's first black producer. "The thing I look forward to the most is to get the entire communIty of Gainesville involved in Gator Growl," White said. Hooker is a former Student Senate president and member of the Reitz Union Board of Managers, as well as an alumnus of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity. Other new FBK officials are Vice President Kurt Zaner, Secretary Heather Cumming and Historian Nina Vaghaiwalla. Unlike last Spring's FBK election, in which three non-Greeks were elected to executive positions, all of Fall's newly elected officials have ties to a Greek chapter. Additionally, an Alligator investigation earlier this year revealed Allende's ties to a conspiracy designed to confuse student voters in an effort to benefit the Gator Party during the Spring Student Government election. A highly active FBK member told the Alligator in March that a "name war" between political parties was deliberately perpetrated to mislead voters, and that Allende was promised a better chance of winning the FBK presidency in Student return for making Qflldlflent deals to help the Gator Party win the election. Allende denied the allegations in March, adding that he had no aspirations of pursuing the FBK presidency. When asked Monday what changed his mind about running, Allende said he "would like to serve the (FBK) chapter in this university some more." Current FBK Vice President Chris Carmody said that although some dirty political tactics have tainted the organization's reputation in the past, Allende is a responsible leader who is already making strides to improve FBK. "This has been a very positive semester for this organization," he said.

ON CAMPUS Online comic readers turn pennles into toys for Shands By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer Readers of a popular online comic strip have saved their pennies for a charitable cause in Gainesville. Visitors of Penny Arcade's Web site have donated more than $4,000 in toys in less than two weeks to Shands Children's Hospital at UF. Penny Arcade is a humorous video gamebased comic strip created by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. In 2003, the two used the Web site's popularity to found Child's Play, a charity organization based in Seattle. This is the first year that Shands has taken part in the toy drive, and it has received toys ranging from Xbox consoles to children's books. "Medical care could be very expensive, and cash donations get spent on necessities, things used to take care of sick kids," said Greg Turner, corporate Web developer for Shands Healthcare. Turner, who is a reader of Penny Arcade, contacted Child's Play to include Shands in the toy drive. The charity then posted a wish list from the hospital on its Web site. The wish list is hosted by Amazon.com, so donators can select a gift, pay for it and send it to the hospital with only a few clicks. Tumer said that he saw Child's Play as an opportunity to get toys for the hospital that children could use together. "They can't go outside and play soccer like before, but they can get together and play video games on a TV," Tumer said. Child's Play was motivated by a column that appeared in 2003 in The Daily Herald, a newspaper from Everett, Wash., according to Child's PlaV's Web site. "They can't go outside and play soccer like before, but they can get together and play video games on a TV." Greg Turner Shands Healthcare Web developer In the column, the author stated that video games were a training ground for children to develop attitudes like that of Gary Ridgway, a man from Seattle who confessed to killing 48 women in 2003. Bothered by the portrayal of gamers in that column and in other articles, Krahulik and Holkins, both 28, decided to use Penny Arcade's worldwide readership of about four million people to create "something worth it," said Mike Fehlauer, Child's Play spokesman. The result was Child's Play. Fehlauer is a business development director for Penny Arcade and volunteers his time with the charity. Child's Play started small, sponsoring only the Seattle Children's Hospital, but the response from the gaming community was so great that it now sponsors 15 hospitals. Child's Play does not receive a profit from the toy drive. Money donated through PayPal or collected through Amazon.com will be equally divided and donated to the sponsored hospitals, Fehlauer said. Child's Play's goal is to have a video game console in every room of the children's hospitals that they sponsor. Give me shelter With umbrellas in hand, students walk by Weimer Hall on a drizzly Monday afternoon. Shortly after the rain stopped, cool air swept though campus, with high temperatures in the 60s expected to last through Wednesday.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Firearms featured on Plaza for National Guard event By TIM HUSSIN Alligator Writer Students who happened to stroll through the Plaza of the Americas on Monday might have had an M-16 assault rifle with a grenade launcher pointed at their heads, but they shouldn't have been alarmed. The National Guard had it under-control. Students could touch, hold and aim three different unloaded On and inoperable rifles any way they pleased during the recruitment event, on the condition that they keep their fingers away from the trigger. UF spokesman Steve Orlando said the National Guard would follow a procedure to allow students to handle the firearms. "I'm sure that the National Guard got complete clearance from the university to do that," he said. Although students are not allowed to carry firearms on campus, he said it would be fine for the National Guard to have a display of decommissioned firearms if it went through an approval process. Matt Fine, member of the UF Pistol and Rifle Club, said the National Guard has many ways of making guns inoperable, including rubber dummy guns that look and feel like real guns. "Weapon safety extends to any type of weapon-period," he said. "The basic safety rules are there so you don't hurt anyone. They prevent users' incompetence and carelessness. If you practice those rules, it's a lot harder for those people to get hurt." At points, students waited in a line to look through the scope of the sniper rifle or aim an M-4 carbine assault rifle into the sky. The gun display attracted the most students, but the event also included a rock-climbing wall, a Hummer with a rotating rocket launcher and a carnival-style basketball game. However, not everyone approved of the event. Protesters lined up near the event with anti-war signs, chanting, "This is what democracy looks like. Say what?" im tlussim / Alligator starr Finance junior Matt Scott aims a sniper rifle Monday afternoon on the Plaza of the Americas. The National Guard brought three different guns for students to handle. Official stands by her statements HENRIQUES, from page 1 elected official. The contract reads: "ALL extemal communications WILL be of a factual or educational nature. Staff will NOT express personal opinion in a form that leads people to believe it is SG Finance position. Nothing in this Office is intended to restrict freedom of speech. IT MUST BE CLEAR when expressing a personal opinion that it is YOUR opinion." Henriques said she is standing firm. "I said that because I believed it to be true and still do," she said. Henriques said she signed the contract during Fall slating, when SG parties picked who they would run for election. She was the Impact Party's treasurer, running against Cosini, then Gator Party treasurer candidate. The contract also prohibits campaigning while working and the use of office equipment for "partisan political work." Student Body President Joe Goldberg said Henriques wore two hats. "It's not easy when you are working in an office and you are also running for office," he said. "I know that that's something that is difficult to overcome. We don't have time to play around with politics. I don't think anyone wants to get caught up in anything besides getting the work done that needs to be done for the students." He said he found fault with Henriques when she served as a student senator during Summer and worked in the finance office. "I found that to be a direct conflict of interest," Goldberg said. Henriques said she wrote an apology to all those involved, "for my misunderstanding of what I was allowed to do and what I wasn't allowed to do." Public stepping up in crime fight BRUCIA, from page 1 lords complete 'the checks because Gainesville Police statistics show that sex offenders move frequently. Keith Faulk, spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, said his office partners with GPD to do routine checks on Alachua County's 330 registered sexual predators and offenders. The most recent was on Halloween. "We had about six deputies from our department out banging on doors," he said. "Some of the predators are not allowed to have any contact with children and would be in violation of their probation if they were dishing out candy to children on Halloween." Faulk said his department takes enforcement of the laws seriously. "We've gotten complaints from several different offenders that three different deputies came by in the same week to check on them," he said. GPD spokesman Keith Kameg said there has been an increase in sex crimes in the past few years. "If anything good has come out of the Brucia case, it is that people are more aware of what's going on," Kameg said. "Now the public is starting to take a stand against crime." 11 'H I 1: 4 4 4:1 A H Fill 1 gallon zip lock bags with any of the following items and bring them to the Alligator office by 4pm on December 7, 2005 to RECEIVE COUPONS REDEEMABLE FOR FREE ONE-DAY BASIC SIZE CLASSIFIED ADS (one coupon per filled zip lock bag.)

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 Edito-rial F p7p po Rt FN Goldberg's accession as FSA chairman ironic t's like the entire student body is made up of goldfish. We swim in our respective fish bowls, we study the world through our own distorted glass barrier, and we never remember anything that happened 30 seconds ago. Last Fall, Joe Goldberg was against joining the Florida Student Association. This Fall, he's chairman of the organization. And no one is questioning this drastic turnaround. Have we all forgotten? We'll admit Goldberg eventually supported joining the student lobbying group, and the Student Senate voted to join FSA while Goldberg was Senate President. But before he came out in support, Goldberg was part of a group that stalled the Senate from voting on the matter. The bill was held back for four months under the guise of research, the results of which never really surfaced. Then suddenly, on one very special day, the dissenters became the supporters, without much explanation. The FSA bill was originally supported by the Access Party, the party of the executive branch. Goldberg was a member of the opposing Innovate Party, which ran the Senate. When the parties came together and voted to join FSA, another Access-supported bill mysteriously disappeared -one supporting Internet voting. UF eventually joined FSA at a discounted rate, but officials had missed their chance to have a voice on setting the annual agenda. So Goldberg is now chairman of an organization that he impeded, possibly for political reasons. But maybe Goldberg was on the right track when he opposed joining FSA. At one point last Fall, he even took a take-it or leave-it mentality, admitting that everything gained by joining FSA could be done without actually joining it. That's an interesting outlook for the chairman of the organization. Not many deny that FSA's main purpose is networking. We pay almost $30,000 a year for our SG officials to improve relations with other schools' SG officials. And then some of the money goes to lobbying against basic issues like block tuition and higher Bright Futures standards. But when then-Student Body President Nikki Fried dropped funding for FSA a few years back, she replaced what was lost by hiring a private lobbying firm. Under Goldberg, we've held on to both options and now dole out a total of about $90,000 for lobbying efforts within the state. Do we really need FSA? Or should we get rid of the private firm? We're glad that a UF representative has an influential position in such a big organization. And we want a UF student on the Board of Governors, the highest governing body of public universities (a perk to Goldberg's new position). But we begin to doubt the aptitude of an organization that appoints as chairman the very person who almost prevented UF from joining. UF is the flagship institution of Florida, and its membership is integral to carrying out many of FSA's goals. Our university's influence dwarfs most of the other member schools. And yet, despite almost hindering FSA, Goldberg is now accountable for its well-being.

Call 376-4458. -7$ J 'A, \A1T V U Romp SutA Guest column Bush rmust reconsider policies vn Iraq ith approval ratings of the war and President Bush's decisions in pursuing it languishing, it's time to have a serious discussion about why we still have troops in Iraq. During the last six months, our troops have become target practice for angry insurgents, causing our role to be little more than a counterproductive bloodbath. Last week, Republicans resorted to name-calling, probably because the weapons-of-mass-destruction ploy -used three years ago is wearing thin, and they don't have another defense. Bush claims that withdrawing now would "send mixed signals to the troops and the enemy." But what would be mixed about Bush taking accountability for a deplorable decision? Then again, "accountability" has never been in this administration's vocabulary. When pleading for an end to this ruthless cycle of pointless deaths now numbering more than 2,000, it is impossible not to mention Rep. John Murtha, D-Penn. This 17-term congressman and retired Marine recently spoke passionately against the war, asserting that the gravestones in Arlington National Cemetery "don't say Democrat or Republican; they say American." This is no longer a war that can be won militarily. Instead, we now need to assist the Iraqi government politically. Murtha's new plan suggests a procedure for withdrawing troops and offers incentive to the Iraqi people to help them settle what remains politically. Republicans deliberately misinterpreted Murtha's logical argument. They drew up a resolution for immediate withdrawal, claiming it was in the spirit of Murtha's proposal. It was rejected 403-3. But this blatant political stunt missed the point entirely. Murtha didn't call for immediate withdrawal; he asked for serious re-examination and consideration of his four-step plan. Amy Eisinger While in China, Bush responded Speaking Out gently to Murtha's emotional plea, acknowledging him as a strong military supporter but adding that withdrawal would lead to a "safe haven for terror." Yet recent polls show that Americans don't feel significantly safer now than they did immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The real problem is that Bush is looking to defeat a specific group, when in reality we're fighting a faceless enemy. The administration cannot simply ignore someone as well respected as Murtha when he has chosen to speak out so vehemently. Moreover, ignoring the overwhelming majority of Americans who now oppose the war would be a direct slap in the face to all this nation stands for. What good is democracy when the voice of the majority is suffocated under the selfish propaganda and privately motivated actions of one man? And then there's the world stage. When Bush attended the Summit of the Americas in Argentina, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez led a protest against American policies, and the 34 participating nations gave Bush a lukewarm reception. We can no longer pretend the international community is blind to our actions. How many more allies will the United States lose before Bush is convinced our policy is wrong? How many more Americans must give their lives for an aimless personal agenda? This war has been seriously crippled by countles deaths, appalling examples-of bigoted American torturE and an inability to actually find weapons of mass destruc. tion. The only hope this administration has of salvaging what little integrity it has left is by actually listening to th American people and seriously reconsidering its policies.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor Alligator proves it is intrinsically against Ayn Rand Your paper's coverage of the event hosted by the Ayn Rand Club on Thursday betrayed your own motto, "We inform, you decide." The Ayn Rand Club has hosted numerous speaking events on campus and has never had an audience of less than 100 people. How could you possibly forget to mention the club that brought Gary Hull to UF? Unfortunately, this omission is not startling, given your paper's ever-present biases. I'll admit that your paper's approach is smart though. The worst thing you could have done from your perspective is make known the fact that Rand is still having an effect, 23 years after her death. She can still draw a crowd with her ideas and keep students at a lecture for two and a half hours despite all the school they already have. You have to make it seem as though the students who attended were beside themselves and left in protest. Though many students left early, how is this any different from a regular college lecture? We do not need your support to keep our activities flourishing on campus. For your sake, hope the Ayn Rand Club does not become more popular or else you might even have to mention her name in an article. Actually, I'm surprised that you, missed a chance to say something derogatory about her. That's usually an opportunity that people at a liberal rag like yours won't pass up.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigatorSpor~s.org Tim casey / Alligator Staff UF forward Adrian Moss grabs a rebound in UF's 77-72 win against the Deacons on Nov. 17. Moss and the Gators have risen to No. 14. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer It might be early, but the UF men's basketball team has already begun to reap some of the rewards of its early season success. After receiving just six total votes in the pre-season Associated Press Top 25 -one more than Bucknell and seven fewer than Old Dominion -the Gators leaped from unranked all the way to the No. 14 spot in this week's poll. And it may be extremely early, but the emergence of a new group of starters begs the question: is this teambetter than last year's version of the Gators, who finished 24-8, won the Southeastern Conference Tournament and sent three players to the NBA? "I think we're a better team this year than we were last year,' forward Adrian Moss said. "Everyone has a defined role, everyone's going to stick to their role, and you can see our teamwork and camaraderie on the floor." Moss said that he received 40 voice mails from friends telling him how unified the Gators looked after defeating Wake Forest and Syracuse for the Coaches vs. Cancer championship. "[They said] it doesn't look like there's any dissention on the floor," Moss said. "It looks like everyone has one agenda, and that is to win the game at hand. There's no ulterior motives." Moss went on to say the editori-" al cartoon that ran in the Alligator on Monday, which depicted a UF player breaking free from a ball and chain labeled "Roberson" and "Walsh" was unfair. A reporter then asked Moss to clarify his statement that the team was better this year without Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh, to which Moss said, "Exactly right." "We all have one agenda, and that's to win basketball games." Adrian Moss UF forward Moss said it was all right for him to criticize the duo because it was his team that he was talking about. Moss then said the ulterior motives he discussed earlier were Roberson and Walsh, "trying to pursue a pro career" alluding to the fact that they were thinking of themselves rather than playing team basketball. -Moss, however, doesn't believe that is an issue with this year's group. "We all have one agenda," Moss said. "And that's to win basketball games." So far the Gators have done just that, and they drew praise from one of college basketball's legends after winning the championship in New York. "I think they've got a very good team that's going to be a very good team to contend with," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "I think they'll have a tremendous year." Free throw woes Despite UF's two victories against teams from the high-powered Atlantic Coast and Big East conferences, the team continued to struggle from the free throw line. The Gators are converting on just 57.4 percent of their free throws, only slightly better than their 52.4 percent field goal percentage and five percentage points less than their opponents. Donovan said that he and his assistant coaches are trying to be creative by forcing players to shoot foul shots under pressure in practice, sometimes with extra running involved for misses. Donovan added that while nobody on the team is currently shooting 70 percent from the line, he could shoot 57 percent with his left hand. Donovan, a right-hander, shot 84.3 percent from the line his senior year at Providence. Moss thinks Donovan might be a little shaky at the line. "I want to see that," Moss said. "Sometimes guys can forget what they really can do when they stop playing for awhile." Wake up Gator Nation, UF-FSU game is still the year's hottest ticket missing something here? Is this not the week of the FloridaFlorida State game, a.k.a. one of college football's greatest rivalries? The game is just five days away, but there isn't the faintest sign of Jarvis Herring guaranteeing a victory or Seminoles linebacker Ernie Sims declaring he will beat up Chris Leak. 'Tis the holiday season, but it looks like Santa forgot to leave a vintage Gators-'Noles matchup for Little Bobby and Little Urban this year. That will teach those naughty rascals to lose three games in a season. Seriously though, I challenge the fans. Where are you guys this year? Instead of worrying about how the Gators will handle FSU's talented running backs duo, you're debating whether to leave Gainesville today or tomorrow. Shame on the countless students who have posted things like "Desperate to Sell 1 FSU Ticket!" on the message boards. Since when did the hottest ticket in town become less valuable than Priest Holmes on my fantasy football team? Whether I like it or not, "The Showdown in the Sunshine State" has definitely lost its luster in the past few years. In the 1990's, the Gators and the Seminoles would storm through their respective SEC and ACC schedules and the annual rivalry game would play a big part in who could go to the national championship game. From 1993 until 1999, the game decided if Farzad Safi Far's Side fsafi@alligator.org one team would go to the title game in five of those seven years. Fast forward to the new millennium and things have changed at both schools. The Ron Zook experiment led to lowered standards for a school once unhappy with a 10-2 record. Meanwhile in Tallahassee, Bobby Bowden has seen his dominance over the ACC diminish. During the '90's, Bowden lost just two conference games. The Semn-oles have lost three ACC games this season alone -all to unranked opponents. So this weekend when No. 23 FSU travels to face No. 19 UF, who really cares? The players. The guys in orange and blue and garnet and gold have an instinctive hatred for eacl,. other. These guys grew up together and have battled from their Pop Warner days to high schoolfand now for bragging rights. "It's Florida State," defensive end Joe Cohen said. "You got fights before the game, during the game and after the game." Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the Gators defend their logo at the 50-yard line if the Seminoles' players try to stomp on it before the game, as they like to do. Although I don't think fighting belongs in football, someone has to prove that this game still matters. 1. Duke (65) 2. Texas (6) 3. Connecticut 4. Villanova (1) 5. Oklahoma 14. UF S 1.

16, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 Ur F TALL re nale to be bttersweet for UF seniors By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@alligator.org Don't blame Steve Spurrier's hasty departure, Ron Zook's failed tenure or Urban Meyer's not-so-smooth transition to the Southeastern Conference. In fact, don't blame anyone from Gaines 'ille, or the United States for that matter. If you want someone to blame for UF's lack of success the past four years, there's a scapegoat thousands of miles away. He's none other than the world's most wanted man, Osama bin Laden. Five seasons ago, when the Gators were preparing to face Tennessee in the usual earlyseason matchup, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks headed by bin Laden forced the game to be postponed until December. When the game finally rolled around, the Gators needed to defeat the Volunteers at the Swamp for an appearance in the SEC champilonshlp game as well as a No. 2 national ranking that likely would have landed them in the BCS title game. The Gators lost. Now, UF's fifth-year seniors -who will play their final regular season game against Florida State on Saturday -have never been that close to a title game since. "I blame Osama bin Laden for all of this," joked senior linebacker Todd McCullough. So as McCullough, Jarvis Herring, Mike Degory, Jeremy Mincey and Tavares Washington prepare to play at the Swamp for the final time on Saturday, it will be a bittersweet moment -and it's not just bitter because it will be their home finale. "It's extremely disappointing," McCullough said. "It's something we'll always live with. It's something that's not going to just go away. It's truly disappointing for those guys coming in here for the level Florida was at and to not get an SEC championship." McCullough believes the Gators will eventually bounce back and become an elite team again, but "it's just unfortunate for the seniors not to be a part of that." For Degory it's been equally as difficult. "You come to this place to win -to win SEC championships, and I've never reached my goal," he said. "I've lost some hair and I've lost some sleep over it but there's not much I can do." McCullough said playing for three coaches was difficult and a partial reason for UF's struggles. "Definitely going through three different coaches and three different systems and three different philosophies, it's hard to compete in the SEC at this level trying to adapt to all those systems that quickly," McCullough said. "I think it definitely didn't play to our favor but it's on us guys to get it done. In my mind, we did let a lot of people down." While the Gators have no shot at an SEC title or BCS bowl appearance this season, a win against the Seminoles would be an ideal send-off for the seDegory niors that will never receive a championship ring at UP. "It would be awesome to look back and say I won SEC championships and I won all these rings, but you're not going to have that stuff," Degory said. "You have to remember the times with your friends, joking around in the locker room -the good times and the bad times. Hopefully you remember just the good times.", SHREVEPORT OR BUST: While it initially looked like the Gators were heading for a Music City Bowl bid in Nashville, now it appears UF will play a Big 12 team in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. While nothing is certain, and the Gators could possibly end up in a slightly more prestigious game like the Cutback Bowl in Tampa, in all likelihood five SEC teams will eam higher bowl bids than the Gators. For the second consecutive season, only six SEC teams qualified for a bowl game. Last year, the Independence Bowl didn't get to select an SEC team because of the low amount of qualifiers. TIis year, the Music City Bowl will be shut out. MCDONALD OUT? UF coach Urban Meyer said defensive end Ray McDonald might not be available against Florida State. Meyer said there is still swelling in McDonald's knee that was injured against Tennessee. There is a chance it will have to be surgically repaired. McDonald has played sparingly the last few weeks and on Monday Meyer said he will look into whether it was the right decision to even bring him back this year -if he hadn't come back he could have used a medical redshirt. "I've asked that and actually we had a discussion about that today," Meyer said. "There will be decisions made on him real soon." )10//.Tired of M. 77171111=77F, =7Z l%_ lRooming with Chimpanzees Solve your roommate problems with Alligator For Display and Classified Advertising The Alligator will not publish on Thursday, November 24th and Friday, November 25th.
